I'm getting ready to go travelling and am starting to look at some options beyond my much loved 6D for something a little less intimidating and conspicuous for street shooting. After playing with Mashimaro's Leica M9, I was pretty hooked and really wanted my own. They are not easy to come by and I have been keeping my eyes open for a good one at a halfway reasonable price in excellent condition for the last month or so, a few have sold since I have been looking and they sell so fast it is astonishing!

I finally was able to pick up an immaculate body last week and have been waiting on a lens to go with it - a Voigtlander Nokton 1.5 50mm in brass with chrome finish. It finally arrived so of course I had to take some test shots! These are really impromptu just taken in my backyard so please excuse the relatively boring photos but just really wanted to take some shots and see what this newly released lens can do! These are all jpegs straight out of the camera resized to 2048px in Lightroom with no other adjustments, and all wide-open at F/1.5 unless otherwise noted. (They have EXIFs but these are not accurate aside from shutter speed)









Definitely has a "dreamy" look and some very nice colours. However, stopped down to F/2 can be pretty crazy sharp:



Of course need some obligatory photos of the gear itself!
